ANOTHER EFFORT TO BE MADE.

The PrOposition of White, Clarkson
 & Co. to Their Creditors Not Ac-
 cepted.
 The creditors of the firm of White, Clark son & Co., met yesterday to hear the report of the committee appointed Wednesday to consider the terms of settlement which had been proposed by Messrs. White and Clark son. The firm wanted to settle the matter for fifteen cents on dollar. The committee did not take kindly to this, however, and reported that they would not accept the set clement. It was the general sentiment of all that the proposition of the firm should not be entertained. During the meeting the creditors appointed another committee whose duty it shall be to look out for the interests of the creditors and also appoint trustee. It is quite possible that another effort will be made to get the proceedings out of the Pro hate eonrt
